To ask the Secretary of State for Defence which costs of Operation Ellamy were met from the Treasury Reserve and which were met from the core budget of his Department.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence which costs of Operation Ellamy were met from the Treasury Reserve and which were met from the core budget of his Department.
[132579]
The Treasury Reserve bears all those costs incurred by the Department which would not otherwise have been incurred. This includes: costs of additional fuel and munitions; extra maintenance requirements; spares; the deployment and recovery of
equipment and personnel from theatre including accommodation; operational allowances and theatre-specific training.
The Ministry of Defence (MOD)'s core budget meets the costs of the base salaries of the service personnel and civilians involved in the operation; a base level of equipment usage, such as that which occurs during standard training; and the procurement costs of equipment which will stay with the MOD after the operation. The MOD does not calculate these costs for individual operations.

The UK has recently been approached by the Libyan authorities to provide a border security expert to assist them in strengthening strategy and management. Last month, with the support of the Home Office, we facilitated a visit by a number of Libyans to the UK to discuss border management.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Astor of Hever on 18 October (WA 481), in what towns and areas, and in what numbers, the 900 Paveway IV munitions were employed in the 2011 Libyan campaign; and what were the estimated casualty numbers.[HL2802]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Astor of Hever on 18 October (WA 481), in what towns and areas, and in what numbers, the 900 Paveway IV munitions were employed in the 2011 Libyan campaign; and what were the estimated casualty numbers.[HL2802]
Disclosing precise information on the number of weapons used in each town and area is likely to prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the Armed Forces.
The Ministry of Defence does not hold any estimates of casualties caused by the NATO operations in Libya. There have been a number of allegations of civilian casualties which NATO has investigated, but none have been independently verified and contemporaneous investigation by NATO personnel on the ground was clearly not possible during the operation. Since the conclusion of military operations, the Libyan authorities have not invited NATO or the UK Government to investigate specific instances.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether visa concessions are being offered to Syrian nationals in the UK whose leave to remain is due to expire; and whether such concessions are consistent with the treatment offered to Libyan nationals.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether visa concessions are being offered to Syrian nationals in the UK whose leave to remain is due to expire; and whether such concessions are consistent with the treatment offered to Libyan nationals.
[133201]
On 15 October 2012 limited visa concessions were introduced for Syrian nationals who are currently in the UK and have valid leave. The concessions are intended to allow greater flexibility for this group when either extending their visas or switching into a different immigration category but do not significantly change the underlying requirements of any visa category. They will be in place until March 2013 but may be extended further, subject to review. These concessions are consistent with those previously offered to Libyan nationals but reflect the learning from the operation of that concession and the differences in country situation.

[holding answer 1 November 2012]: The usual post-operational lessons processes have been followed in respect of Operation Ellamy.

It is now accepted that Libya provided the Semtex used both at Lockerbie and at the Warrington bombing in 1993. The US Government are vigorously pursuing a claim on behalf of the Lockerbie victims, whereas the UK is more passive in its support for the equivalent McCue case. Will the Minister review our position and undertake to go the extra mile for the UK victims, including those living in Warrington?

I know my hon. Friend’s position and his close relationship with those who suffered in Warrington, not least Colin Parry and his family. It has not been the UK’s position specifically to support individual compensation claims—that has been done privately—but the UK has offered facilitation and support to those making such claims. More important, the UK has also been able to support a process of reconciliation with the new Libyan authorities to make good the comment of President Magarief at the UN in September—he apologised for the crimes of the despot and is looking to try to ensure that things are repaired. We are working continually with the Libyan authorities on that. I am going there next week to help in that process.
The Gaddafi regime left a terrible legacy, with many victims both in Libya and in the UK. My right hon. Friends the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary and I have consistently raised Gaddafi’s relationship with the IRA when we have seen the Libyan authorities.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government on what dates in 2012 they have discussed with the Government of Libya the issue of compensation for United Kingdom victims of terrorist attacks committed with weapons supplied by the Gaddafi regime.[HL3523]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government on what dates in 2012 they have discussed with the Government of Libya the issue of compensation for United Kingdom victims of terrorist attacks committed with weapons supplied by the Gaddafi regime.[HL3523]
Individual compensation claims are being pursued on a private basis and the Government are not involved in negotiations with the Libyan authorities on securing compensation payments. However, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office provides facilitation support to a number of such private campaigns. The Government have raised Gaddafi’s support of Irish Republican Army (IRA) terrorism with the Libyan authorities on numerous occasions, including this year on 16 January, 16 February, 22 February, 6 July, 16 July, 24 September, 3 October, 4 October, 10 October, and 11 October. We also continue to encourage the Libyan authorities to engage with representatives of UK victims.
The Libyan authorities are in no doubt of the importance the UK attaches to resolving this and other outstanding bilateral issues arising from the actions of the Gaddafi regime.

[holding answer 30 October 2012]: A review of the information requested is being conducted with regard to its suitability for release. I will write to my hon. Friend concerning the information requested once the assessment is complete.
Substantive answer from Philip Dunne to Tobias Ellwood:
Further to my response of 31 October 2012 (Official Report, column 293W) I am writing to inform you that I have received copies of the Aircraft Condition Survey reports on Apache aircraft ZJ207, ZJ188, ZJ179 ZJ218 and XJ233.
These reports, which relate to the Apache helicopters which flew from HMS Ocean during Operation Ellamy, contain details which may reveal effectiveness of operational equipment used by our Armed Forces and therefore I have decided not to release. The reports identify higher than normal levels of corrosion due to the maritime environment the aircraft had been flown in, but in all cases were within normal tolerance levels and the aircraft remained fully airworthy.
A copy of this letter will be placed in the Library of the House.
